. . . and I have tried all of these, and cygwin, but it never just works; as someone said above, it is like running windows software under wine, I don't have the time of the taste for that sort of messing. Perhaps I have just gotten used to linux, but Windows will have to become alot more user friendly before I could make the change.
I use linux because the software I use: emacs, LaTeX, gcc, is unavailable on Windows, at least without hacking or using some emulator that never quite works right: also, wow, file management is a pain in the arse using a mouse and how do people manage without grep, sed and awk?
My favourite along these lines is Jack Barnes who discovered the extremely poisonous box Irukandji jellyfish (Carukia barnesi):
"The jellyfish itself was identified in 1964 by Dr. Jack Barnes; in order to prove it was the cause of Irukandji syndrome, he captured the tiny jelly and stung himself and his son."
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carukia_barnesi
They were both hospitalized, as was a life gaurd he also stung to make triply sure.
Why can't it look at the actual video content, there is no need to pick out Captain Picard, it just needs to come up with some signature for the clip, looking at a time sequence of contrast ratios of the frames or some such; something that will be invariant under resolution choice I guess.
Though as a professor I should disapprove of cut and pate cheating, I have in the past ignored plagiarism in return for some fois-gras; cut and flash-of-pink plagiarism is even more effective in my class. Is that just me.
But isn't the point that Apple is a hardware company not a software company, the important thing is to keep the os developing so people will keep buying the computer, not to force or tempt people to upgade existing machines.
isn't the key point that google pays firefox for every search from the firefox search window; firefox chooses google as the default because this is the most renumerative choice. the problem with microsoft is they own the browser and the search site and so google aren't able to make a similar offer to microsoft. if microsoft and msn were seperate companies then this would be fine, microsoft would weight up income, their attitude to msn as a rival company and their concern for the browsing experience of someone using ie, as it is, its an abuse of a monopoly.
On Sunday, the Observer, the Sunday version of the Gaurdian, had an article which claimed that Einstein won his Nobel prize, not for relativity (true) but for explaining how light is converted to electricity in plants (false)
having a commission introduces a notion of an appointed authority: the great thing about Wikipedia is that there is no appointed authority, just loads of self-appointed authorities.
what they need is a definition of a self appointed commission, so many editors, so many previous edits between them and allow them to add a tab to anything they regard as a stable version, different commissions, different tabs, with some commissions being general, some concentrating on certain areas of expertise. This way you could choose always to look first at the top version of an article with the option of clicking a tab by a commission you trust to see their stable version, or, you could choose a skin which would choose the version endorsed by certain commissions if there is one available. You could even set a preference list.
ok so i'm an academic and i've used lots of these things and i find scholar.google the best, so it isn't so serious as the others and sometimes you get entries that shouldn't really be there and for things like citation counts it isn't accurate but for finding stuff and follow along citatation, well its miles better and miles more straight forward to use.

Actually we don't know, irresponsible no doubt, but no one seems to have said whether or not this actually caused anyone to have a fit.

Well what?
I was joking; wasn't that obvious?
I just hope slashdot follows suit by getting rid of negative moderation.

Click on synaptics, search for subversion, install how can this be harder than what you do on windows?
Are "people who don't pay for support" such a profitable part of the Ubuntu user base?
and while we are not forgetting people, what about Michael Atiyah, one of the two or three most important mathematician of the second half of the C20.

So the other person being tipped is Terrence Tao, anyone else?

cool as this sounds, its over engineered, a recharble battery and battery powered bulb could do the same.

okay, but there was some talk about future investiment beyond the new factory and whether it would go to Ireland, Israel or Colarado.
Is the Israeli plant the one that would have gone to Ireland if the EU hadn't kickup about Irish government subsidies?
